double-sided ram on P2B-F

[Desmoquattro]

I just bought one stick of Kingston 256mb PC133 for my P2B-F. Problem is when I installed it, it's only recognized as 128mb. Then I just found out that my motherboard doesn't recognize single-sided dimms above 128mb. Is there any way around this? I have the latest bios installed already...beta 007...and I don't want this RAM just laying around the house.

unfortunately not. you'll have to change that stick of ram!

The density of the chips of RAM on the DIMM itself is too high for the BX chipset to handle, so you will need RAM that has a chip density lower than 128mbit....ie you need a double sided DIMM.
